It all began on a work trip to Bimini. Neither of them could have expected that a short walk to a convenience store would change their lives forever, but fate had other plans…….. One evening, after Cole had met Nataly earlier that day, he tagged along on her walk to the store to buy a bottle of water (the thirst was real!) They went their separate ways, and as Nataly was getting ready for bed that night, she received a DM from Cole saying, “I’ll get water with you any night.” It was the smoothest pick-up line she’d ever heard. When the trip ended, they were both sad, unsure if they’d ever cross paths again—Cole headed back to Atlanta, and Nataly returning to Los Angeles. But neither of them could forget the connection they shared on the trip. Cole knew he couldn’t let this one get away. With determination, countless flights, and late night FaceTime calls, they found their way back to each other. Long-distance was hard, but it only made their hearts grow fonder. Every trip to see one another was special, whether it was enjoying fancy dinners (because who can say no to a good steak?), going to Braves games, joining fun work trips, cooking dinners together, or the deep conversations about their goals and values, every moment was bliss. Cole admired Nataly and thought she was beautiful, caring, and nurturing. Nataly was head over heels for Cole and thought he was handsome, a gentleman, compassionate, and funny (only sometimes). From those early days, it was clear that what they had was something rare and undeniable. In a leap of faith, Nataly made the tough decision to leave her home in California to start a new chapter with Cole in Georgia. It was hard leaving her family, brothers, and friends, but she knew it was the beginning of something truly special. Throughout it all, both of their families have been their greatest cheerleaders, and they couldn’t be more grateful for their love and support. Now they’re thrilled to celebrate the beginning of their forever with all of you!
